//! Parsing interface for parsing a token stream into a syntax tree node.
//!
//! Parsing in Syn is built on parser functions that take in a [`ParseStream`]
//! and produce a [`Result<T>`] where `T` is some syntax tree node. Underlying
//! these parser functions is a lower level mechanism built around the
//! [`Cursor`] type. `Cursor` is a cheaply copyable cursor over a range of
//! tokens in a token stream.
//!
//! [`ParseStream`]: type.ParseStream.html
//! [`Result<T>`]: type.Result.html
//! [`Cursor`]: ../buffer/index.html
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! Here is a snippet of parsing code to get a feel for the style of the
//! library. We define data structures for a subset of Rust syntax including
//! enums (not shown) and structs, then provide implementations of the [`Parse`]
//! trait to parse these syntax tree data structures from a token stream.
//!
//! Once `Parse` impls have been defined, they can be called conveniently from a
//! procedural macro through [`parse_macro_input!`] as shown at the bottom of
//! the snippet. If the caller provides syntactically invalid input to the
//! procedural macro, they will receive a helpful compiler error message
//! pointing out the exact token that triggered the failure to parse.
//!
//! [`parse_macro_input!`]: ../macro.parse_macro_input.html
//!
//! ```edition2018
//! extern crate proc_macro;
//!
//! use proc_macro::TokenStream;
//! use syn::{braced, parse_macro_input, token, Field, Ident, Result, Token};
//! use syn::parse::{Parse, ParseStream};
//! use syn::punctuated::Punctuated;
//!
//! enum Item {
//!     Struct(ItemStruct),
//!     Enum(ItemEnum),
//! }
//!
//! struct ItemStruct {
//!     struct_token: Token![struct],
//!     ident: Ident,
//!     brace_token: token::Brace,
//!     fields: Punctuated<Field, Token![,]>,
//! }
//! #
//! # enum ItemEnum {}
//!
//! impl Parse for Item {
//!     fn parse(input: ParseStream) -> Result<Self> {
//!         let lookahead = input.lookahead1();
//!         if lookahead.peek(Token![struct]) {
//!             input.parse().map(Item::Struct)
//!         } else if lookahead.peek(Token![enum]) {
//!             input.parse().map(Item::Enum)
//!         } else {
//!             Err(lookahead.error())
//!         }
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! impl Parse for ItemStruct {
//!     fn parse(input: ParseStream) -> Result<Self> {
//!         let content;
//!         Ok(ItemStruct {
//!             struct_token: input.parse()?,
//!             ident: input.parse()?,
//!             brace_token: braced!(content in input),
//!             fields: content.parse_terminated(Field::parse_named)?,
//!         })
//!     }
//! }
//! #
//! # impl Parse for ItemEnum {
//! #     fn parse(input: ParseStream) -> Result<Self> {
//! #         unimplemented!()
//! #     }
//! # }
//!
//! # const IGNORE: &str = stringify! {
//! #[proc_macro]
//! # };
//! pub fn my_macro(tokens: TokenStream) -> TokenStream {
//!     let input = parse_macro_input!(tokens as Item);
//!
//!     /* ... */
//! #   "".parse().unwrap()
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # The `syn::parse*` functions
//!
//! The [`syn::parse`], [`syn::parse2`], and [`syn::parse_str`] functions serve
//! as an entry point for parsing syntax tree nodes that can be parsed in an
//! obvious default way. These functions can return any syntax tree node that
//! implements the [`Parse`] trait, which includes most types in Syn.
//!
//! [`syn::parse`]: ../fn.parse.html
//! [`syn::parse2`]: ../fn.parse2.html
//! [`syn::parse_str`]: ../fn.parse_str.html
//! [`Parse`]: trait.Parse.html
//!
//! ```edition2018
//! use syn::Type;
//!
//! # fn run_parser() -> syn::Result<()> {
//! let t: Type = syn::parse_str("std::collections::HashMap<String, Value>")?;
//! #     Ok(())
//! # }
//! #
//! # fn main() {
//! #     run_parser().unwrap();
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! The [`parse_quote!`] macro also uses this approach.
//!
//! [`parse_quote!`]: ../macro.parse_quote.html
//!
//! # The `Parser` trait
//!
//! Some types can be parsed in several ways depending on context. For example
//! an [`Attribute`] can be either "outer" like `#[...]` or "inner" like
//! `#![...]` and parsing the wrong one would be a bug. Similarly [`Punctuated`]
//! may or may not allow trailing punctuation, and parsing it the wrong way
//! would either reject valid input or accept invalid input.
//!
//! [`Attribute`]: ../struct.Attribute.html
//! [`Punctuated`]: ../punctuated/index.html
//!
//! The `Parse` trait is not implemented in these cases because there is no good
//! behavior to consider the default.
//!
//! ```edition2018,compile_fail
//! # extern crate proc_macro;
//! #
//! # use syn::punctuated::Punctuated;
//! # use syn::{PathSegment, Result, Token};
//! #
//! # fn f(tokens: proc_macro::TokenStream) -> Result<()> {
//! #
//! // Can't parse `Punctuated` without knowing whether trailing punctuation
//! // should be allowed in this context.
//! let path: Punctuated<PathSegment, Token![::]> = syn::parse(tokens)?;
//! #
//! #     Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! In these cases the types provide a choice of parser functions rather than a
//! single `Parse` implementation, and those parser functions can be invoked
//! through the [`Parser`] trait.
//!
//! [`Parser`]: trait.Parser.html
//!
//! ```edition2018
//! extern crate proc_macro;
//!
//! use proc_macro::TokenStream;
//! use syn::parse::Parser;
//! use syn::punctuated::Punctuated;
//! use syn::{Attribute, Expr, PathSegment, Result, Token};
//!
//! fn call_some_parser_methods(input: TokenStream) -> Result<()> {
//!     // Parse a nonempty sequence of path segments separated by `::` punctuation
//!     // with no trailing punctuation.
//!     let tokens = input.clone();
//!     let parser = Punctuated::<PathSegment, Token![::]>::parse_separated_nonempty;
//!     let _path = parser.parse(tokens)?;
//!
//!     // Parse a possibly empty sequence of expressions terminated by commas with
//!     // an optional trailing punctuation.
//!     let tokens = input.clone();
//!     let parser = Punctuated::<Expr, Token![,]>::parse_terminated;
//!     let _args = parser.parse(tokens)?;
//!
//!     // Parse zero or more outer attributes but not inner attributes.
//!     let tokens = input.clone();
//!     let parser = Attribute::parse_outer;
